A catapult launches a rocket at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100 m/s. The rocket engine immediately starts a burn, and for 3.00 s the rocket moves along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. Then its engine fails, and the rocket proceeds to move in free fall. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.

Q2. A drone is used to spray pesticide in a farm. It covers (d1=30 m) towards south. Then it flies (d2=40 m) in a direction 350 east of south, then by changing its direction it covers a distance of (d3=50m) in the direction 650 east of north and finally it covers a displacement (d4=65m) in a direction of 300 south of west. Calculate total displacement (d) covered by the drone and its direction.
